Ever find a fidget toy so ridiculous you just HAD to get it?

[That Beast Mode]

I did. It’s surprisingly satisfying to mess with while in FSD.probably good for about a week worth of entertainment and laughs.

So does this thing have any feedback when you "Shift" or is it just a piece of plastic? like a satisfying click into gear and does it have left and right resistance so you can rock it back and forth? I used to do that all the time in my manuals. They need to make a dummy clutch pedal combo kit.

You could train a fighter pilot on that thing, really would be a great skill and imagination builder.

yeah. The inside has a little mechanism. It obviously doesn’t feel like a Ferrari gated shifter but “clicks” into each position.

Looking at that makes me realize how much I miss a manual transmission. I don't think I've shifted one in a decade now...

I miss it, but I also don't.

Manuals belong in Toyota Tacomas and sports cars and to heck with paddle shifters. Now I’m having a flash back 1970 Dodge Challenger with pistol grip shifter! Sigh

It's a Star Trek toy from the 70's. I had one as a child, and it lived in my parents' attic for many years.

I prefer the basement attics are too hot
I can’t believe I did not recognize it because I saw every Star Trek episode, but I’ve never saw that toy

You are morally obligated to make engine fart noises when wildly shifting those gears, by the way...

Of course. It would be sacrilege not to.

I picked up this silly little thing a little over a year ago, it was cheap and cute. I still have it on my desk, but I supposed you could keep it on your dash as a horizon level

Yeah, I linked it in the description, but it's kind of subtle in the forum. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2W7WD1Z

They have two sizes, this is the small, about $17 bucks. The large comes ship-in-a-bottle style.

Sorry. Just saw the link

Ordered. Do you think it can survive dashboard heat?
